If the photogrammetry looks rubbish up close, then the imaging data need to be updated. If it looks fine up close but rubbish further away, that can be adjusted in the software, but probably not by us.
I’ve tested this, but always when i start the sim the value for terrain and object lod gets set back to 2.00000 in the usercfg.opt ? really strange…
Mark the file as read only. I think it only gets overwritten if you visit that options page, though.
Yes and I understand why but under the circumstances it’s something I think they should change with perhaps an undo function. Maybe once all the dust has settled and everyone knows what works for them they can adjust the settings page to suit the new performance levels.
yes this, at venice and other italian cities its very good.
its the source data.
Try Strasbourg, it pretty much blew me away when I saw it.
You have to set in properties Read only for the usercfg.opt file or the game will change it to what you select in the menu. And if you go and make other changes after the fact you will have to change it back to no Read only.
thanks on this way it works.
We’re not getting what we see in the trailers, that’s for sure. Then again, if you pay attention to some of the video/photo’s they release that look amazing, everything is up close. If you were to show a video or photo of terrain further away (about 3000ft and higher) everything looks blurry.
Setting LOD to 400% in the cfg file helped me to get rid of the pyramids of Gizeh in NYC.
Some good news on improving LOD draw distances and high altitude blurriness… fingers crossed!! Part 1 of our top 5 bug thread is hopefully going to get better.
I have the impression, that LOD pop-in, especially photogrammetry pop-in, is even more severe after the latest hotfix. When I fly towards New York from JFK (as seen in your pictures, SubtotalGuide81), the ground is building up details so noticibly, it’s extremely distracting. I really welcome the performance improvements in SU5, but the price in reduction of picture quality is just too much. The game isn’t enjoyable anymore, from a picture quality point of view.
This is possibly the most distracting thing ever since release, even beyond the stutter and freezes, at least before it looked good when looking towards the horizon, low altitude scenery flying in or around near any city is like Egypt, pyramid building literally less than 2-3 miles in front probably even less, it’s real bad. Then there’s the high altitude flying, you literally have a perfect circle beneath your plane of perfect cclarity of ground, then outside the circle is like FS1998, blocky, low resolution and just all in all terrible, the perfect circle leads me to think it’s obviously something somewhere in the settings over any sort of restriction of download or anything like that.
C’mon guys we’ve already been told the higher LODs will be available and a solution for the pop-ins are underway and are to be included in the next update. In the meantime that lovely extra performance can be further tapped with a simple config fix. … Apparently they say that patience is a virtue.
Dude, the update came out yesterday. Hotfix update 1.18.15.0, check in your xbox app for the update.
Literally the very first bulletpoint on the release notes, granted LOD is not listed but level of detail from high altitudes is meant to be fixed in this update.
Dude I have the hotfix and I am only relaying info that is readily available … DACH update to include these fixes August 26th or 27th if I remember correctly.
ok, but what we are trying to say is the airline altitude problem is not fixed although Asobo thinks it is, and the only way to let them know it’s not is to post and/or vote about it.
Oh! and maybe true but I thought this was a photogrammetry thread
